A More Accurate Field-to-Field Method towards the Wind Retrieval of HY-2B Scatterometer [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 In this paper, we present a method for retrieving sea surface wind field (SSWF) from HaiYang-2B (HY-2B) scatterometer data. In contrast to the conventional algorithm, i.e., using a point-to-point (P2P) method based on geophysical model functions (GMF) to

A Modeling Study of the Impact of the Sea Surface Temperature on the Backscattering Coefficient and Wind Field Retrieval [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2020 The sea surface temperature (SST) actively impacts the backscattering coefficient measured by scatterometers and the wind retrieval accuracy. However, none of the geophysical model functions (GMFs) currently used in operational wind retrieval considers ...

Mitigation of Sea Ice Contamination in QuikSCAT Wind Retrieval [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2014 Scatterometers provide frequent estimates of near-surface wind vectors over the Earth's oceans. However, in the polar oceans, the presence of sea ice in or near the measurement footprint can adversely affect scatterometer measurements, resulting in inaccurate wind estimates.

First Assessment of CyGNSS-Incorporated SMAP Sea Surface Salinity Retrieval Over Pan-Tropical Ocean
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 In sea surface salinity (SSS) retrieval using L-band passive radiometry, radiometer-independent ocean wind speed is needed as auxiliary data. Wind speed data from scatterometer and weather models are commonly used as auxiliary data in satellite SSS ...
